Frank Pietlock, Sr.
I've only had the pleasure of knowing you 14 months but boy it has been a whirlwind!
From the wild nights we spent together keeping you under control to the many visits to 3 different hospital emergency rooms. Hundreds of hours in the hospital and doctors offices. We had lunch at so many different places! Some you picked out and many new places I took you to expand your horzions. So many memories we shared with each other since we were so similiar in our beliefs and life experiences. Your family accepted me with open arms and treated me as one of their own. This was such an honor. As your time became more difficult and short I stood by your side. I was honored to be there with you right up until the end. I held your hand firmly and kept talking to you that you were not alone. You knew I was there because twice just before you passed over you took every bit of strength you had and stiffened your arm and squeezed my hand to acknowledge my presence. A few minutes later you passed into the light holding both Denise's hand and mine. I never let you go and I will never let our memories go either! One day I will be with you again so we can continue our journey together. By the time I get there you should have "all the ropes down pat" so you can show me the way!
